Just as follow-up to this:
The FreeTDS ODBC driver had an issue supporting .rowcount
for SELECTs at the time we released 3.2, so the attributes
was fixed to -1 in order to not cause confusion by returning
wrong data.
We will check whether we can reenable the feature for more
recent FreeTDS driver versions.
The MS ODBC drivers for Windows and Linux only support
.rowcount for INSERTs and UPDATEs, but not for SELECTs.
In any case: it you can, please use the MS ODBC driver
for Linux instead of FreeTDS. The MS driver for Linux
is much more compatible to the MS driver for Windows
and provides access to more features than FreeTDS
at the moment.
On other platforms, you can also look at mxODBC Connect,
which allows you to always run with the MS SQL Server driver
for Windows, regardless of the platform your client is
using.
